I guess you didn't read it all. The guy is definitely gonna lie, since he was unethical enough to run off. You know how unbelievable the OP story is. To have someone so absolutely dumb to try to pass someone while he is making a lane change (he must have been absolutely tailgating him and increased his speed dramatically in a few seconds to do that). When ICBC hears the OP story they are gonna think he is the one lying and the other guy will tell a more reasonable story. Unless the Benz fesses up, OP may be screwed. I had a similar situation with a really stupid ass driver, but it ended 50/50 because he completely lied.

Did you get any pics of the damage to his mirror? Since he was approaching from behind he would have damaged the front of his mirror and the back of yours, thus helping corroborate your version of the event (if necessary).

Yes I did.

No shit. But that would happen whether the OP was in the right or not.

Actually, from some of the crazy shit I see, driving all over the Lower Mainland on a daily basis... it's entirely believable. And you're assuming the other guy is capable of creating a credible story - most people are terrible liars, especially when they start tripping up over their own stories.

I'll say 50/50 here, cuz when u switched lanes he doesnt have to yield to you cuz he was goign straight and if he sped up then you shouldnt have went into the lane but its also his fault cuz he tried to speed off after.

-1 hotjoint for reading comprehension

in layman's terms, the benz budged in the HOV and hit the OP's car

:lol my bad, yeah I was just looking at the pic. Totally the guy's fault then

yeah i agree it should be the benz fault 100%
however, icbc will always try to fuck you over no matter what so get your story straight about him being in the HOV lane alone and that you had to chase him down, you had not finish your lane change etc.

Based on personal experience, it will be your fault.
I was exiting the Oak st. bridge onto #4 road where 1 lane becomes 2. I was in front while a Lexus was behind me. I wanted the right lane when the lane split into 2 and the Lexus driver tried to over take me on the right when it was still a single lane.

ICBC said I was trying to pull to the right lane and deemed it my fault.

Called in ICBC today. They told me the benz owner reported in yesterday. So a full day after the hit happened he reported it while I reported it 20 mins after he hit me. He is not accepting fault, pretty damn sure he made up some story.

This thread is so full of fail. Despite it being clarified at least three times, people are still getting it utterly wrong.

you didn't shoot him? wow

ICBC didn't screw me over! Ruled not my fault.

thats great!

good to hear. seems like it took a while for them to figure that

passengers cannot be used as a witness. I would suggest settling out of ICBC just so they can't fuck you over. Just get the guy to pay for fixing your mirror.

What car do you drive? If it's a nice car, spend 500 and get a beater. Then hunt him down and do the same thing to his car. I'm sure his car will cost more to repair than your beater.

hahaha i love the drawing. LOL!
